[8/19, 9:25 PM] Quadri Alagbo: Nothing is perfect, not even religion,so you have to cut people some slacks for their incompetency.
The case of the present day Afghanistan is sad,but again you asked for yourselves what is Islam not doing well??
Simple, they've failed to learn from Christianity
[8/19, 9:40 PM] Quadri Alagbo: Christianity is not perfect,they have their flaws, between 1805 to 1835, British Invaders, majorly Christians killed over 250,000 Australian Aborigines,but since then Christianity has evolved so much from that past era to the most peaceful religion, but the most progressive,most welcoming religion in the world,simply by evolving with time and constantly reviewing and revising the Bible, while Islam remained stagnant and refused to grow with the present world
[8/19, 9:50 PM] Quadri Alagbo: Pls be open minded before reading this.
Been opportuned to read a whole lotta religious text.
Sorry to say both the Bible "old testament" and the Quran are the most difficult books to read,you need certain level of intellectual capabilities,and to be mentally upright to read and assimilate without going off radar. Sadly while those in the upper echelon of Christianity knew this and worked towards it, Islam neglected it, now it's coming to deface their peace mantra
[8/19, 10:04 PM] Quadri Alagbo: So the Bible is not complete, I can say this anywhere, but the omitted part was consciously done by very very intelligent people to ensure peace in this world.
The Bible was translated into 704 languages of the world,to ensure people can really have a feel of freedom while learning a new religion and be more connected to the religion in their own way of life, Christianity as a religion supports local tradition,an edo man can come and preach on the pulpit dressed like a typical Edo man, but no in Islam,we are meant to dress like Arab
[8/19, 10:17 PM] Quadri Alagbo: The Bible has over 40 versions,and each version was made to make the assimilation of the Bible easier,this people knew the "ye,thee,thy and all other terms like that will probably get hard for people,so they made easier versions for understanding
[8/19, 10:32 PM] Quadri Alagbo: After all this measures to ensure the easy assimilation of the Bible, those intelligent people had the foresight of creating a new testament,a less difficult to read, projected for kids, children and teenagers.
The new testament is the most straightforward religious book ever,books like revelation, Lamentations,books that has powerful and confusing verses was carefully omitted,so to ensure the thinking of this kids wasn't stressed from a very young age, they now went a step further by distributing new testament to children schools.during Sunday Schools, children are taught from the new testament
[8/19, 10:41 PM] Quadri Alagbo: But look at Islam, Muslims are still being lead the writings of archaic years,times where war was the order,a book that was purportedly given to a particular tribe before the religion came conquering outer world.
Writings that has failed to diversify despite the diversity of the religion, writings you can't learn on your own,the only way to know Allah is through Qur'an,but the best way to know Allah is by yourself and not being taught by one Alfa.
Writings that seems to suite the traditional culture of a certain tribe , that seems to place a certain tribe as a better Muslim than the others
[8/19, 10:47 PM] Quadri Alagbo: And most importantly despite the difficulties in assimilating the Quran,there seems to be no help from anyone,a fifty year old man with a matured brain,reads the same thing a thirteen years old boy reads.
Is their understanding the same?
This are more reasons where teenage suicide bombers are on the rise,this boy reads surah about jihad, and their brain thinks the next thing is to kill for Allah
[8/19, 10:54 PM] Quadri Alagbo: Islam needs a reform, who to read,where to read,whom to read for,or better still the Quran be reviewed and be revised,or else the case of Afghanistan will keep re occuring.
Shalom
